What is that handling in the Clio! He's taking every corner flat out!
A lot of people underestimate these little Clios... So much fun. 👍🏻
What is it about that long section just before the last right corner- before Carousel? You just can't hold speed up there.....been there twice , I thought my car had lost boost as I could hardly get it over a ton.
Boys.....I say this with respect as I admire your driving skills and zest as I think many do, but I'd seriously get cages in your cars ( if you have,not already) at your speeds you could loose it big time and talent and energy like yours should be protected.
Keep doing what you doing, I have,not stopped smiling all morning watching this👍
We hear you Darren, thanks for the comment! Cages will be happening...
+Darren Lucas its because its a very very steep uphill but you dont really notice it in the car but its like 17 % gradient, heres a pic of the topography www.nuerburgring.de/fileadmin/2011/Nordschleife/Profil%20Nordschleife.jpg the part that you mean is starting from ex mühle.
@@jakecole7447 thanks man......doesn't seem like it when you are on it......but obviously, this explains it......I was about 200bhp too short I think☹️
@@darrenlucas2768 Yeah the brain does strange Things sometimes and yes this Part of the track is a real struggle with Low HP cars all the guys who Cant corner just go past you again😂
Agreed on the cage. It's a boring thing to spend money on but safety first lol. I'm not done watching your vids so need to keep em coming :+1
3:37 really on the limit! very nice!
what is nice about getting massive understeer and losing all the time?
@@baginya666 What is nice is that the drivers are willing to push their cars to the limit. Not many do, and it's always impressive to watch. Even more so when they are as skilled as these drivers are.
Do a walk around of your cars, and talk about things like Mods, Problems, Repairs, Servicing, Tyres Brakes etc… glad I found this channel
It’d be cool to see a video of your cars setups, what mods, tyres, brakes etc you are both running. That would be good. Awesome driving by the way, you guys have got some balls!!
Massive respect. The way these hatches were meant to be
driven! Stay safe
& don't lift.
You guys are absolute mad men! I wouldn't dare to drive like that without a rollcage :D
Pretty impressive guys, I kept thinking that you had forgotten to brake, enjoyed watching 👍
Thanks Phil!
0:59 That awful moment, when your transmission is starting to show some early symptoms.
KRRrrrrrr KA-klung! There you go!
aggressive driving will do that.
4:18 this guys gone mad your foot must’ve been mashed into the floor kissing the apex on both sides😆 how much power is in that Clio? Got some skill as well I’ll give ya that. 👍
Clio had a remap and then made 191bhp on the dyno
Awesome! This is so exciting to watch. Great driving! 👍
Your mad going round there like that in older French hot hatches without cages!!!🤯🤯
Yeah we know! Cages now inbound!
@@CamberandCombustion crazy good driving though! Poor engines on the absolute limit everywhere, brilliant 😂
Boys! Glad to see this video, A colleague went with his EVO VII and saw your cars, I've been waiting for this video for two weeks!
This time the 306 had problems, right? I stayed a little behind ?? Greetings and I hope you have more Numbur Report
Keep going.
sergio trescientoseis Thanks for your comment! The 306 was quicker in a straight line however it didn't have enough grip on the NS2R tyres to keep up with the Clio on the MRF tyres, so it fell behind a little bit.
Keep following our channels for more footage!
Missing those vids! ❤
Yes guys! Excellent
For some reason it looks a lot more scary in Clio.
Camera perspective......
Hi guys, awesome driving as always.
A little question... Do you put bigger brakes on your cars or running with stock ones?
Nice driving. I have a clio 197 that i want to get more track focused. What mods or changes to the suspension would you reccomend? Thanks
As a standard car they have a super capable chassis and are designed to be abused on track! But simple changes like some performance springs (slightly stiffer and lower) will help control body movement, and if you can run the Cup dampers then even better. Adding some negative camber to the fronts with adjustable top mounts is probably another good idea to help use all of the width of the tyres.
@@CamberandCombustion thank you kindly
No way that speedometer is right lol turning at over 100 mph plus xD Unless the camera doesn't do it justice..Either way boss driving boys!! Love seeing people giving it beans
GPS speedo, so it's correct!
Do you guys compete in some profesional championship?Awesome driving! 👌
Thanks bud 🤙🏻 we’ve done a little bit of racing before but not at a professional level.
Fenomenal
Hey guys! Really like your videos, but I have a question. How often do you change parts in the suspension like rubber bushing, anti-roll bar mount, and maybe even driveshafts, etc? I don't really have a feeling of what attacking the curbs like that does to the maintenance cost of the car so I was just wondering if you'd be willing to share...
Hi Kostas! It's difficult to say exactly as it depends how often we go to track days, but usually after one trip to the Nurburgring for a few days with around 20 laps there are some balljoints that will have started knocking. No doubt hitting the big kerbs means they have to be changed more often
@@CamberandCombustion Yeah sure, that makes sense! Thanks... Here's hoping I get to wreck a few balljoints, eeh, do a trip to the 'Ring soon!
Great driving but I'm surprised you don't have cages, harnesses etc. At those speeds, one error....
Hi guys. Nice driving, looks so much fun. What size and width wheels are best on the clio 197 for trackdays?
Thanks! For our Clio 197 we used a set of Laguna wheels as we picked them up cheap, they have a wider offset so do stick out a little further but not too much that they rubbed. Can't remember specifics on numbers unfortunately.
@@CamberandCombustion thanks!!!
Goo on lads brilliant
Give it a revin Kevin
Hold it flat Mat
Give it a squirt Kurt
Great videos ! How do you put on the track info and speed on your onboard footage ?
It's with the GoPro Hero 5 that we use. It has built-in GPS which enables you to do it 👍
7:29 - I had to check my pants!
gr8 vid guys!
i think guy in clio have not good position in car - he's back is not supported from seat... YO!
Thanks! The camera angle made the seat look worse but it was swapped for a bucket seat before the car died!
@@CamberandCombustion clear! So have fun ;)
You need more downforce on the rear to prevent the car from fish tailing every corner. O suggest a spoiler
did you guys build your cars, or buy them?
Both the 306 and 197 started out as standard cars and we modified them track use.
What suspension and tires are you running on the 306?
In this vid it's got Bilstein B8 shocks, Eibach springs, 21mm rear torsion bars, machined front hubs for 2.25 negative camber and Nankang NS2R tyres. Check the descriptions for the spec in our latest vids.
@@CamberandCombustion Do you Highley rate the nankang ns2r
Nice vids, NS2R less efficient ?
Rasherjo thanks. The NS2Rs do not offer the same amount of outright grip as the MRF tyres. Next to try on the 306 will likely be AR1s!
I run AR1s on my 306 but don't have any feel of the road, don't like them! Might be different on a trackday over a hillclimb with a bit of heat in though.
alexhalldotme interesting feedback. Have you compared them against the likes of other renowned semi slick tyres like R888Rs?
What's the set up on the 197??
H&R springs, cup dampers and MRF semi slick tyres
@@CamberandCombustion what exhaust you running? Sounds awesome!
@@TheGamingMew it's actually running a standard exhaust in this vid but sounds louder as the rear seats were removed. It's now running a Milltek exhaust and ITG induction kit and sounds much better! You can hear in our latest vid at Cadwell.
Synchro issues or fast clutch? :)
What are you referring to Dominik?
El 306 es una carretilla en comparación al clio 3
Did you time it? just out of interest? ;)
Tourist driving so no timing, but you could check it from the video time stamp?
@@CamberandCombustion yeah this didn't register in my head at silly o'clock in the morning 😂
eso se llama conducir a machete,,, muy bien.
Easy mistake to make on that corner! I did the same by turning in too early in a saxo once and was rewarded by pants filled oversteer whereas the 306 got pants filled understeer lol
Joe Marano safe to that we didn’t make that mistake again 😂
@@CamberandCombustion 🤣🤣🤣
🆒🔝🔝🔝
No soy ningún experto, pero la posición de conducción del Clio no me gusta demasiado, con la espalda sin apoyar en el asiento y sin mover las manos del volante
Used to take my R27 Clio to the track and embarrass much more powerful cars, even in the wet. Just keep your accelerator foot buried high in the rev range
Tes en trein de détruites une voitures mythiques 306 gti 16s please avant qu elle ne finisse dans un rail vend la moi please for sale the 306 please please is my cars favorite Peugeot in france no cars toutes casser ou tuning the 306 please boys for sale the cars one troc the cars mis one terrain in france + money is you the terrain is valeur the 80 mil euro the 306 where is it the $$$
Peżot widaç że stary trochę 😂
Awesome footage, awesome driving, but seriously to both of you guys, you are both on the limit on most of your video's (especially the guy in the 306) at the speeds you are doing one big off could potentially be disastrous from a health / life perspective, get fooking cages installed in both cars for fooks sake, your bollox are not bigger than the value of your life........At least if you have a big off (which I hope you don't) then you'll have some decent chance of surviving. Call me an idiot but I was once a 20 something lad that was involved in 160+mph races in road cars with fook all protection.
Thanks mate, cages are going to be happening.
Why the clio driver have that seat to much far for his back? Wrong position imho, it seems he drive like a rodeo, hanging the steering wheel. And why are both cars too much oversteering? Wrong angles? Poor tires? Wildboars driving? Only to know, not break the balls to anything
